LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 1, 1838. Some of our Contemporaries have properly directed the public attention to the neglect of the Post-oifice, in suffering 34 hours to elapse before the letters which were brought from New YOrk by the Great Western could be obtained in London. If private enterprise goes on in its bright and railroad career, and the ma nagers of our public offices continue at their old snail pace, we shall soon arrive at a period when letters will be transmitted across the Atlantic in a shorter time than from one side of England to the other. We should like to know why the Postmaster at Bristol should not be authorised to board such a packet the instant she arrives, at whatever hour it might be, and to forward, as soon as they could possibly be separated and sorted, the bags of letters by express to their dif ferent destinations. With diligence on the part of the Post-3ffice authorities the letters of the Great Western ought to have been in town by the middle of Thurs day, and it is a disgrace to them that they were not. But we have a complaint to make that private en terprise is stopped, propably that the faults of the public officers may appear less glaring. Our agent at Bristol informs us that persons were prohibited and prevented from going on board the Great Western on her arrival, and prohibited and prevented from coming on shore till the morning. But for that prohi bition and prevention we should have received on Thursday an account of the arrival of that noble ves sel. Why could not the Customhouse officers exert themselves a little, and transact their business by night as well as by day. All the persons connected with the Morning Journals, all sea-going men, mail-coach men and guards, work by night ; and why not the Custom house officers when necessary ? In fact, however, the servants of Government—which should at least protect (we do not ask it to promote) private enterprize--put barriers in its way ; and while it largely taxes the community for its support, impedes or destroys the means of creating wealth.—Reform is wanted. our Presbyterian friends of the North, are as much gulled and beguiled by their own priesthood as we poor English are by ours. We pity amazingly, the poor men of Boughton under Blane, of Hearne Hill, and the Ville of Dunkirk, who, living within sight of the spires of Canterbury Cathedral, and living on the es tates of the Church, are in a state of ignorance, more gloomy from the light around than the darkness of the middle ages ; and whose ignorance made them the prey of an impostor less guilty than the priesthood which takes the wealth of the industrious classes on false pre texts ; we pity amazingly those poor men, some of whom were slain, while others were banished for be lieving in a heated fanatic ; but amazingly as we pity them, we pity still more the shrewd, learned, sagacious, worldly, knowing Presbyterians of the north, who suf fer themselves to be deluded by their spiritual O'CoN NELL and his allies, to give a broad and unflinching support to the papacy of the united Churches of Eng land and Ireland. The Canterbury fanatics sinned from ignorance—the Presbyterians have not that excuse. Every one must, we think, have observed that the Tories of our days are more of Liberals than were the Whigs of 1820 ; that the Radicals of that period were left behind by the Whigs in proposing the Reform Bill, and that the Radicals now desire to go much further and faster than did the more-than-Whigs even of the Reform Bill. This progress of all classes in one direction gives rise, in the class which goes fastest and furthest, to very considerable injustice ; and they are very apt to calumniate as dishonest, or deride as weak and ignorant, even the furthest-going of those whom they in their ardour have distanced. The case of the Scots man," a paper," says the Chronicle very justly, " not more remarkable for the sound and luminous views which it takes of questions of general interest, than for the undeviating constancy with which it seeks to promote whatever tends to enlighten the people and improve their condition," has suggested our observa tion. We have known that Journal almost from its commencement, and a more honest, unflinching advo cate of Liberal opinions—when it was dangerous to advocate them—a more calm and enlightened Paper, a Paper more thoroughly imbued with devotion to the best interests of all, does not exist in the empire. But because the Scotsman does not come quite up to the present line, at which the Radicals of the North have reached, they, not contented with vilifying and abusing, most unjustly, the whole Press of Scotland, propose to establish a new Journal, which is to be called " The True Scotsman ;" not only interfering, commercially with the property of our excellent Con temporary, but implying that the present is a false Scotsman, and no longer the trustworthy organ of Libe ral opinions. This, we beg leave to say to our Radical friends in Scotland, is an act of gross injustice to one of the best friends the Liberal cause ever had ; and we can tell them this with the greater confidence, and with a more assured hope of being attended to, because we do not agree in many of the strictures on the Radicals, in which the Scotsman indulges. No cause can ev er prosper which is founded on wrong, and it is a very bad augury of the future success of the northern Radi cals, that they commence by vilifying the whole Press of Scotland because it is not as ardent as they are, and by the threatened usurpation of a most holiest Journalist's title, which at the same time scan dalously and falsely implies that he is not a true Scotsman. The Scotsman complains of the Radicals that they expect too much from laws, and are over eager to have the making of them. It dwells with some earnestness and much force on the magnitude of our empire and the variety of its interests, and properly insists that " legislation is not a mere holiday affair, to be intrusted to every ignorant adventurer who shall declare himself the friend of the people." We may remark, less as singular, however, than as a sign of the tracks into which human thought is now running, that in the Times of this morning there appears a letter with this title—" The Question considered—Are the difficulties with which Britain is encompassed political or social ?" And the writer goes on to argue, in the very teeth of all the Tory vilification of the Ministers, that the difficulties are social and not political, and that our greatest states men have not used due discrimination in considering the phenomena. It is therefore a settled thing that Legislation concerns most extensive and most im portant interests, and that there are no known and well defined limits where it ought to be gin, and where it ought to end. Now we differ from the Scotsman in condemning the Radicals, the greater portion of whom belong to the poorer classes, for seeking to ameliorate their condition by getting an effectual controul over the instrument for making laws. At least when the general ignot ance is so great, when statesmen are thoroughly ignorant on the subject, and when all classes propose to attain their separate and peculiar ends by means of legislation, the Ra dicals are as much justified as the others in en deavouring to obtain wealth and power, and free dom for their industry, by means of enacting the laws. They will fail no doubt, but with so many stimulating examples before them, it is not just to blame them for trying. In common with all other classes, they are taught to look up with respect to our present law•makers. Kings and Nobles, Bishops and Parliament men, pre sume to set the fashion of thought, as well as in dress. And what does their language, and still more their conduct, teach ? Why, that every thing can be done by making laws. The whole system of legis lation proceeds on the assumption that by laws most of the evils men suffer, and most of the crimes they commit can be prevented or cured, and the nature of man and of society modelled after the pattern and perfect idea of the legislator. By Sabbath-laws it is proposed to make men religious ; by license laws and taxes on spirits to make men sober. Laws to hang them are supposed to make them civil and humane ; and laws to imprison or transport them, with an im mense mass of cruelties, are established to make them polite, honest, and virtuous. Our landlords pretend that they can by law feed the people; and they pass those star vation laws, which at least are supposed to enrich them selves. Nay, both the words and practice of our Legislators, and of the great mass of public writers, teaches something more wonderful than this, for it is actually endeavoured not only to make men virtuous and make them happy, but to ensure their eternal salvation by law. Hence, we have a law-decreed Church, and a law.decrced faith. Now when this overweening confidence in the efficacy of laws is the general creed of society, we must assert, for the Radicals of the north, that they are not blameable for imitating their so called superiors, and seeking, like the landlords, to better their condition, or like the Bishops to secure power and wealth by civil and penal enactments. We may lament the general activity on this point, but the Radicals are not so bad as the Saints. Great as is the 'horror we have for war, we are sometimes al most tempted to wish for it to find employment for the superabundant zeal of the nothing -to-do classes who now take every branch of society under their tute lary care, and inflict on us, by their never ending med dling, a more permanent, if not a greater evil than the calamities of war. We yesterday reminded our Presbyterian readers, who are very conscientious men, that they are taxed at this moment, and taxed through their bread, to main tain Episcopacy in Eng land. W e must rem i n d them to-day, on the authority of the Bishop of NORWICH, that a great portion of our Episcopal Clergy are not distinguishable from the Priesth oo d of the Papal Church of Rome. In d octr i ne an d discipline, i n creed and practice, in arrogance and hypocrisy, the great mass of Episcopal Clergy, so clos e ly resem bl e the Clergy of the Romish Church, that the most acute theological sense cannot discover the shadow of a shade of difference between them. To say nothing of th e Epis copal monster which is called the Irish Church, and to support which the Presbyterians of Scotland pay horse, and foot, and artillery, it is a fact that they pay for the maintenance of a quasi-Popery in England. If there be any great difference between the two Churches, the advantages are all on the side of Rome, for its priest hood possesses the apostolic power, which our priest hood claim, in unbroken succession ; and the head of their Church is a venerable ecclesiastic, selected by other aged, and, therefore, venerable ecclesiastic, while the head of the Episcopal Church here may be a madman, an atheist, or a rake, and is at present a young, help less, unknowing, though graceful and accomplished lady. But though there is little difference between the two Established Churches, except what is advanta geous to Rome, the spiritual O'CONNELL of Scotland, in his pursuit of priestly aggrandizement, is so for getful of the doctrines of his own Church, that he makes common cause with the Papal-Protest ant priesthood of the Established Church. Truly The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived, but their contents are of very little importance. The health of the Duchess of ORLEANS was in proving—all symptoms of the milk fever having disap- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1838. peared in the course of Thursday morning. Wednes day being a holyday, no business was transacted on the Bourse. The following report of the celebration of the fete in honour of the young Prince's birth is taken from a Paris Journal, and is of considerable in terest as evincing the feelings of the Parisians upon an event which has filled the Court with rejoicing : The fetes of yesterday passed off with unusual brilliancy and success. Tile weather, which in the morning was lowering and windy, improved in the afternoon, and the inhabitants of Paris were enabled to enjoy the amusements prepared for them by the municipality, in honour of the birth of the Count de Paris, without any drawback. The preparations in the Champs Elysees, on the river, and at the Barriere du Trone, were so nearly the same as those for the fetes of July, that we have scarcely anything new to say upon them. The theatres and the battles drew their usual crowds in the Champs Elysees, the amusements on the river were well attended, and the sports occasioned by the Mats de Cocagne were ex ceedingly good. The people seemed to enjoy themselves most thoroughly, and the greatest good humour was visible throughout the dense crowds that flocked during the whole of the afternoon to the western end of the capital. The evening was peculiarly auspicious for the illuminat►ons and the fireworks, the wind having greatly subsided, and the moon shining sufficiently bright through the clouds, that continued to drive across the sky, to give additional interest to the scene. By eight o'clock all the avenues to the Pont de la Concorde, the terraces of the gardens of the Tuileries, and the great place round the Obelisk, were densely thronged. The grand avenue of the Champ Elysees was most brilliantly lighted with festoons and pillars of lamps, and pyramids of lamp►ons illumi nated the base of the Obelisk, and the intended fountains on tho Place de la Concorde, while the Madeleine, the Chamber of Deputies, the residences of the various Ministers, the Hotel of the Legion of Honour, the Hotel de Ville, and most of the public buildings of the capital, contributed their share to the general flood of light. At half-past eight the first rockets were discharged, and the fireworks then followed each other in rapid succession until past nine. The balloon, discharg. ing fire-balls, was let off amidst the other works, and produced a most beautiful effect. At the side of the Chamber of Deputies, towards the Tuileries, a lofty frame work, on becoming lighted, displayed the Royal arms, with the words " V ive he Comte de Paris," on a scroll above, and the initials of the Duke and Duchess of Orleans in a star, one on each side. A shower of tri coloured fireballs accompanied this display. As soon as this was terminated the Pont de la Concorde sent forth fountains of white fire into the river, and three magnifi cent bouquets followed each other, giving the effect of an intense conflagration on the bridge, with endless showers of rockets in the air. The discharge of the bouquets of bombs, the last of the three, was exceedingly grand; several other minor bouquets were let off nearly opposite the Hotel of the Legion of Honour, and a discharge of fireworks took place at the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, which was illuminated with red, white, and blue lights, at different intervals. The display of fireworks at the Barriere du Trone, which took place a little before that on the Place de la Concorde, was also very magnificent, and attracted immense crowds. The evening passed off without any disturbance or accident as far as we have heard; and, from the admirable order preserved by the police, and the ample means of approach possessed by each of the places above-mentioned, the dense masses of people congregated for the occasion were enabled to come and to take their departure with the greatest safety and convenience. The Champs Elysees continued to be crowded with dancers and holvday folks to a late hour. It is stated in some of the Papers, that the Duke de MONTEBELLO is preparing to return to Paris, in consequence of the independent tone assumed by the Swiss Deputies. Such a step, it is supposed would frighten the Diet into a ready compliance with the de mands of France, while to foreign States it would seem as if the KING wished to remove from the Republic a functionary, whose awful presence might be supposed to influence the proceedings of the Representative Body. There is really no occasion to have resource to such a petty intrigue. The Duke has never been an object of terror to any party, and whether he go or stay matters little to the guardians of the honour of the Helvetian Republic. The following article from the Journal de Geneve may be taken as a specimen of the spirited language of the Swiss Press, respecting the justice and the reasonableness of the demand made by France The Neufchatel deputy to the Diet, doubtless expecting that he would embarrass the canton of Thurgau on the question of of Prince Napoleon-Louis, proposed that the Prince should, on his naturalization, be asked whether he renounced the title of French citizen. This silly quibble has already been de nounced. The fact is, that proscribed in France, and deprived of the rights of citizenship by an exceptional law, which aff,,cts the whole family of the Emperor Napoleon, the Prince had nothing to renounceor, acquiring the title of citizen of Thurgau. Being actually domiciliatcd, his admission as citizen %%as strictly legal, and he could have no choice to make be tween two countries while a law of proscription hangs over him in France. To give him the opportunit y of choosing, it would be necessary to repeal that law. The French Cabinet, surely, cannot expect to extend its exceptional laws beyond its frontiers, and to oblige other nations to make outlaws of individuals who are guilty of no other offence than that of be longing to the family of a great man to whom France erects statues, end whore ashes she claims. . . The people of Thurgau have been influenced by no spirit of hoAility in giving the citizenship to the nephew of Napoleon, and that character the prince may assert without on his own part renouncing his rights as a French citizen Whatever may be equivocal in his situation is none of his fault; it is the effect of the unjust proscription. To diveA him of his Thurgovian c i tizenship the obvious way is to repeal this law of hatred and fear. That is the preliminary which should have preceded the French note. Then might it have been said, " Switzer land cannot allow him to call himself at one time a French and at another a Thur.Tovian citizen." In that case he could have a choice, and he might have been called upon to choose, but how can he now choose? If he cease to be a Thurgovian, what does be become ? In a letter from Lucerne of the 26th ult., published by a Morning Contemporary, we find the following emphatic passage : The federal Swiss camp, in which were assembled several thousend troops from the cantons of Lucerne, Berne, Solourc, and Tessin, his just been raised. The best spirit prevailed in the camp; the patri o tic manif es t at i ons w hi c h have taken place must haveconvinced those members of the Diet who witnessed them, th a t th e fi rs t aut h or i ty o f t h e C o nfederation may count on the energetic concurrence of the people in the event of a levy of our militia becoming nec essary. All the officers have declared that they would break their swords if the diet should be so weak as to accede to the demand of France. France is thus placed in a very unpleasant position. To make Prince Louts BONAPARTE the occasion of a war would be to aim a blow at the regal exist ence of the House of ORLEANS ; while to yield to Switzerland would provoke the vengeance of the nation upon the Cabinet. Annexed are extracts from the Journals. BONA, AUG, 1 1, —We have received from Constantine the news that it has been found neccessary to put in irons two of the natives, formerly in the service of the Bey, after the dis covery of their intrigues, both with;n and without the place. An organised system of espionage has also been discovered, which might have had very serious consequences, from the connection of Achmet with all the vagabonds who can inter cept the communications and trade. On the other hand, Ben Aissa continues to stir up the Kabyles, who have bands in the space between the mountain on the north-west and the town. We continue to be on good terms with the tribes of the Seybouse; and it is not from these tribes themselves that we have to apprehend any obstacle. Most of their chiefs have made very positive offers, and they keep their word, only it is necessary that the new General should declare in such a manner as to:pre clude the idea of any change ; it is hoped that he will, for this of the highest importance.

It hopes by means of some concession, more apparent than real in favour of that Kingdom, to obtain commercial advan tages which shall counterbalance the grant made by King Ferdinand to a French Company of the trade in sulphur in Sicily. At the desire of the British Government his Sicilian Majesty has appointed commissioners to g? to London to ne gotiate with the Board of Trade the sof the proposed treaty ; they have already left Naples, and will shortly arrive in London. —Le Commerce.

An inquest was held last week, before J. W. Cow • ley, Esq. one of the Coroners for Bucks, at Thornborough, on vie w of the body of Joseph Holdom, a respectable farmer of that place. The deceased was reaping with his men that morn i n g, when he was taken suddenly ill, sat down near a and expired in about five minutes afterwards. Ver dict--DiedTHE Bust' Cow.—A remarkably curious an i ma l has just arrived in this countr y , from Sierr a Leone, and is at. trzcting a good deal of notice among naturalists. It resembles in form a com mon cow, but is covered with a coarse thin hair of a dirty y ellow colour, with tufts of the same , hanging down at e qual distances from its broad pendulous ears, and has alto gether a most singular appearance. It comes from th e in terior of Western Africa , and is little known, e ven b y t h e h ede by the visitation of God." natives, who call it the bush cow. No previous specimen has b2en brought to Europe, nor is it even known to the colonists at Sierra Leone, and it is believed to be quite undescribed. It has b ee n deposited for the present at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Several other rarities have also been recently added to the same menagerie; among them are three rose breasted cockatoos, a pair of black parrots, both exceedingly scarce, a gazelle, a very fine tigress, and American roe deer, a pair of Cereopsis geese, presented by Sir Robert Heron, and a f e male curassow with her young one, about six weeks old, an age at which the bird is very seldom seen in this country. A man named Ilsley was yesterday held to bail at Marylebone Office for cruelty to his son, a boy eleven years of age, whom he he had confined and chained in a dismal damp hcie under ground for several days, and fed upon bread and water. In his defence, the man said the boy was undutiful and had robbed him, , MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD' S MAGAZINE. The Number before us is as good a one as has appeared for months. Chapman, Christopher North, and a writer, who signs himself " Archaeus," and exhibits no inconsider able powers of fancy, contribute to its pages. The first article is entitled " Christopher among the Mountains," and contains some admirable descriptions of mountain scenery, which show in every sentence that the " power of hills"—to quote Wordsworth's striking expression—is on the writer's imagination. But why does he so perversely depreciate Byron's noble apostrophe to the Ocean ? Why subject it to such a searching, inquisitorial criticism as not the most careful English poet could bear ? That fine line in " Childe Harold," in allusion to the sea, " Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow," Christopher pronounces to be " a conceit, and a most im pertinent one !" Now, to our thinking, this is one of the very best lines to be found in all Byron's works. As for impertinence, nothing can be more appropriate. The poet has just before been talking of perishable empires and cities ; of huge mountains furrowed by the storms of centu ries ; of prodigious structures crumbling away beneath the same resistless influence ; and then proceeds to contrast their transient, with the eternal, nature of the ocean, which rolls now, just as " Creation's dawn" beheld it roll. Where is the conceit—where the impertinence here? We repeat, there is not one English poet that could stand the ordeal of such criticism as Christopher's; and if there be one who would suffer by it more than another, it is Wordsworth— his prime favourite—who is often flat and verbose to a de gree beyond endurance, and for one sublime passage has at least two mystical ones that might puzzle even an CEdipus himself to solve. " Legendary Lore" is a simple sea story told with uncommon elegance of expression and sentiment. In the " Whig Radical Corruption" a desperate party recklessness is perceptible which cannot fail to provoke a laugh. " Memoranda of our Village and Its Founders" is a trite theme treated in a very ingenious and lively manner. The germ of the idea may be found in a paragraph that ap peared a few years since in the " Edinburgh Review," illustrative of the rise and progress of a small Highland village. " Letters of an Attache" are descriptive of the proceedings in London at the late memorable coronation, which though it cost only a third of the sum expended on that of George the Fourth, was at least five times as im pressive a spectacle. We quote the writer's account of the Congreve rocket which he saw brought into play at the artillery review at Woolwich, a few days after the coronation : " The very flight of the Congreve rocket is startling ; it springs from the ground in a volume of flame, and then rushes along with a continued roar, with its large head blazing, and striking point-blank, and with tremendous force, at the dis tance of a mile or more. In a siege it is already extremely formidable. It bursts through roofs ; it fixes itself wherever it can bore its way ; and it inflames everything that is combus tible. Stone walls only can repel it, and that not always. This weapon may be regarded as almost exclusively English in its use, as well as its origin. It will be like the English bow in the fifteenth century. In the next war what au extra ordinary change will take place in all the established instru ments of putting men out of the world I We shall be attacked at once from above, around, and below. We shall have the balloon showering fire upon us from miles above our heads; the steam-gun levelling us from walls and ramparts, before we can come within distance to dig a trench ; the Congreves set ting our tents, ammunition-waggons, and ourselves in a blaze in our first sleep ; and the steam-boat running and doing mis chief every where. But of all those mischief-makers I should give the palm to the rocket. No infantry on earth could stand for five minutes within five hundred yards of a well-served rocket-battery. Half-a-dozen volleys of half-a-dozen of these fiery arrows would break the strongest battalions into frag ments, lay one-half dead on the ground, and send the other blazing and torn over the field. The heaviest fire from guns is nothinr , to their effect. It wants the directness, the steadi ness, the flame, and, resulting from all those, the terror. If the British troops shall ever come into the field without an over whelming force of rocketeers, they will throw away the first chance of victory that ever was lost by national negligence. Nothing can be more obvious than that this tremendous weapon has not even yet arrived at its full capacity for war on a great scale." BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The first article in the present Number is from the pen of Boz, and is headed " Full Report of the Second Meeting of the Mudfog Association for the Advancement of Every thing." It is a clever quiz upon some of the most pedantic of our scientific societies, but we would rather have had some more chapters of " Oliver Twist," for which the Mudfog Association is but an indifferent substitute. A " Chapter on Gourmanderie" treats an important subject with all the staid and learned gravity due to its importance. If there be truth in old Sam Johnson's remark that " people love to read about eating and drinking," this chapter, re plete as it is with useful knowledge, should be highly popu lar. " A Cambridge Row in the year 1632" introduces us to the young Cantabs, Milton, and Oliver Cromwell, who are represented as getting up—or rather as aiding and abetting—in a glorious academical skrimmage. There is some spirit in the article, but we doubt whether Cromwell ever graduated at the University. " Paper-money Lyrics" is lightly and gracefully versified. We subjoin it accord ingly : " PAPER MONEY LYRICS, CHORUS OF BUBBLE BUYERS." `" When these practisers come to the last decoction, blow, blow, puff, puff, and all flies infunzo. Poor wretches! I rather pity their folly and indiscretion than their loss of time and money : for these may be restored by industry : but to be a fool born is a disease incurable.' " Berg Johnson's rolpone. " Oh ! where are the hopes we have met in a morning, As we hustled and bustled around Capel Court ? When we laugh'd at the croakers that bade us take warning, Who once were our scorn, and now make us their sport. Oh ! where are the regions where well-paid inspectors Found metals omnigenous, streak'd, and emboss'd ? So kindly bought for us by honest directors, Who charged us but three times as much as they cost. Oh! where are the riches that bubbled like fountains, In places we neither could utter nor spell, A thoufand miles inland 'mid untrodden mountains, Where silver and gold grew like heath and blue bell? Oh! where are the lakes overflowing with treasure ? The gold.dust that roll'd in each torrent and stream? The mines that held water by cubic-mile measure, So easily pump'd up by portable steam ? That water our prospects a damp could not throw on ; We had only a million horse power to prepare, Make a thousand mile road for the engine to go on, And sends coals from Newcastle to boil it when there, Oh ! where are the bridges to span the Atlantic ? Oh ! where is the gas to illumine the poles ? They came to our visions—that makes us half frantic They came to our pockets; that touches our souls. Oh ! there is the seat of most exquisite f, cling : The first pair of nerves to the pocket doth dive : A wound in our hearts would be no time in healing, But a wound in our pockets how can we survive ? Now Guest be the projects, and curst the projectors, And curst be the bubbles before us that roll'd, Which, bursting, have left us like desolate spectres, Bewailing our bodies of paper and gold. For what is a man but his coat and his breeches, His plate snd his linen, his land and his house? Oh ! we had been men had we won our mock riches ; But now we arc ghosts, each as poor as a mouse. But shades as we are, we, with shadowy bubbles, When the midnight bell tolls will through Capel-court glide, And the dream of the Jew shall be turmoils and troubles, When he secs each pale ghost on its bubble astride. And the lecturing Scots that upheld the delusion, By prating of paper, and wealth, and free tra,le, Shall see us by night to their awe and confusion, Grim phantoms of wrath that shall never be laid." The " Legend of Walter Childe" is continued with un abated spirit this month. Some of the versification is singu larly felicitous, but though the poem affects occasionally to be witty, it never rises above smartness. As an imitation of Freer's manner, it is the best we have yet met with. " Uncle Sam's Peculiarities" possess much of the quaint, worldly good sense that characterises the remarks of that stringer by wholesale of practical aphorisms—Samuel Slick, the Yankee clock-maker. " A Night on the En chanted Mountains" is a wild, imaginative dream, that in places reminds us of Washington Irving's famous legend of Rip Van Winkle. FRASER' S MAGA LINE. The " Life of Wilberforce" professes to be a review of the biography of that eminent man, lately published by his sons, but is, in truth, a vehement attack on Whigs, Catho lics, and, in fact, on all:men and all parties who exhibit a pre dilection for Liberal and conciliatory measures. The Re viewer, of course, exhibits a strong partiality for Wilber force, who, howev er , was b y no means t h e great and mag nanimous Statesman that his admirers—and no man ever had more—would fain persuade the world he was. If he had much of the wisdom, he had also no little of the cun ning of the ser p en t, as hi s con d uct on t h e memora bl e occa sion of Queen Caroline's trial, proved beyond the possibi lity of refutation. Except on the single question of Negro Slavery, which, greatly to his credit, he followed up Session after Session with remarkable pertinacity, Wilberforce wanted energy and decision of character. He was apt to be apprehensive, and take fright at shadows—a great draw back on the character of a Statesman , especially in such unprecedented times as those in which Wilberforce lived. On the whole, we may safely pronounce him to be a good, but not a great. man , who will descend to poste rity, not as the enlightened or far-sighted English Senator, but as the eloquent and well-intentioned Author of the " Evidences of Christianity?' Th e Article entitled " Jack among the Lawyers" is, we presume, meant to be a political allegory, but the satire and point are not sufficiently ob vious. " Remarks on Napoleon Bonaparte" is an Essay, suggested by Dr. Channing's thoughts on that prolific theme. The Reviewer does no more than justice to the Doctor, who is unquestionrbly one of the finest spirits that America ever produeet!. He has just estimated the rapt. rial Despot at his fitting worth, " nothing extenuating, nor setting down aught in malice." If his Essay have a de feet, it is, that the style is too curiously and elaborately po; lished, and wants variety of cadence. " Whigs and Tories is a rabid diatribe on the former party, professing, how ever, to be an impartial notice of Mr. Cooke's " History , of Parties." In the notice of the " Birds of Aristop hanes we find much ingenious criticism expressed in a lively, fa' miliar manner. The " Autobiography of the Hammer smith Ghost" is a passable trifle. From the Essay on " Greek Comedy" we quote some pleasant extracts on the English system of cookery : " Nor, if we turn to Devonshire or Holland House, is the improvement commensurate with the expectations excited by the talents of the famous artists, who, in those Arcadian bowers of gastronomy, devote their days and nights to the service of the palate and dyspepsia. It is true that oysters, and Bur gundy, and herrings, procured through an ambassador, and truffles from Goodwood, impart a pleasing sensation to the eye and the palate ' • but what we call the poetry of the dinner is wanting : the Muse of eating does not hover over the table, like Spring in the Seasons, in a cloud of odour and roses ; they are confined to the Epergne. We behold no imagination' no graceful innovations upon obsolete customs, no delicate allurements of fancy. The abolition of taking wine' is a wholesome specimen of reform, but nothing more. We re gard the paraphernalia of twenty servants, heavy with crimson, gold, and white gloves, in the light of a most useless encum brance. How different from the Attic repasts of ancient fes tivity ! Then, maidens, selected we suppose for their beauty and grace, wafted the dishes to table, in airy and delightful movements, to the sound of music. The picture of a girl bearing a plate in her hand, which was discovered in Hercu laneum, is supposed to represent one of these attendants. Ilere is an opening for genius and fortune ! Here is a g limpse of Elysium I Here is an invention worthy of Victoria 1 A faint approach to it was attempted by Ugo Foscolo, at his Digamo° Cottage ; but the " three graces," though sufficient for the menage of a bachelor, were quite incompetent to conduct the experiment. Let M. Laporte educate his corps de ballet for the employment : we promise them abun 4 ant and triumphant patronage. Riches would be worth the possession, if we might hope to eat a dish of nightingales' tongues, presented to our hand in the mazy motion of Taglioni ; or the liver of a peacock, offered by the finger of Duvernay. Brocard might bring in the pastry ; and the Elslers would find employment at the dessert. Before this delicious innovation can be intro duced, we must learn to handle a knife with a more accom plished dexterity. In Rome, seminaries for instruction in carving were very fashionable and well attended. They are noticed by Martial, Juvenal, and Petronius Arbiter ; Juvenal mentions a certain Tryphernus as a celebrated professor of the art. In these establishments, wooden figures of birds, ani mals, and fishes, such as the boar, the hare, the flamingo, the Scythian pheasant, the white antelope, &c., were provided for the practice of the pupils. Nor was this preliminary edu cation unnecessary, when we remember that the duties of the table were regulated by music. Here is another opportunity for the opulent to confer a dezp and lasting benefit upon so ciety, and distinction upon themselves; we hope to see the evening when the merry-thought of a capon will be disengage d to a tune from Don Juan ; and the majestic bosom of a turkey sliced to the graver harmony of the Siege of Belgrade." THE MONTHLY CHRONICLE. Longman and Co. With an abundance of talent and a cordial sympathy with the feelings and wishes of the many there is a want of variety in this p er i o di ca l, w hi c h mus t t en d to limit its cir culation among the middling classes. Seven articles, two of them Reviews, and two more continuations of others not upon the most important subjects, are not enough to vary the pages of a Magazine w hi c h i s ex p ec t e d t o afford subject-matter for political and literary gossip for at least f a whole month. The opening article on Lord Durban's mission may be regarded as a Ministerial defence of the official acts of the Noble Earl; and a very ab le as well as conclu s i ve d e f ence it is. But there ar° some portions of the article in which very unjust reflec tions are obliquely glanced at Lord Brougham, and others , in which the writer seems to be groping his way in t he dark, in ignorance of the light which history has shed upon his path. Of the latter we shall quote a passage : " It is not in any rancorous or vindictive spirit towards th e defeated party that we address these observations to their apologists here. We only recur to the past to find some clue to the future. We ascribe to the original framers of the Lower Canadian Constitution, rather than to the popular .as sembly which threw it over, the principal blame of its jarring_ and imperfect working. Perhaps it may be pronounced !o have been impolitic, in the first instance, to have fostered In the French province the feeling of a distinct nationality -- , nationality of a very tenacious, litigious, and intractible sort: unable to stand alone in an Anglo- Saxonised continent, an d . unable to rest quiet under external administration. It v°9 : one thing to confer local and municipal franchises throughott; the province (which has not been done yet), and another t. array them apart, as Mr. Pitt's Constitution did, into Fr ew ! and English political divisions, which may be thought to bay' been the very way to encourage the dream of a nation Cano, dienne, and nurse the germs of disturbance to our co lon ial empire. Without deciding whether the tenures and titaF_c a ; of old France or o f England are the more.beneficial, or , whe ther something better might not be found for a n ew Co wta than either, we may confine ourselves to pointing out lonial • looks like ignorance of the fundamental principles of government exhibited in investing a small population ° t foreigners, in a newly-acquired province, with a separate 5 Y s ; tens of self-government.

We erected, in truth, on the shores of the St. Lawrence, with British arras and policy —with the constant and costly vigilance of protection —a foreign republie—too small and feeble to ha,... had a moment's independent existence—too compact in ser e rate organisation not to embarrass our future course. If l a had not thought fit to isolate the nation Canadienne, Th ere u not have had to struggle with its separate claims. ,„ would, as in other colonies, have been grievances to reme"J i ; and reforms to effect, but the contest would not have taken the type we have recently witnessed. We may be said, therefore, to owe one source of that contest to an excess - Liberalism. Briton() " As the artifi c i a l erect i on o f a petty f ore i gn po li t i c al pow b e e r was et variance with one grea t p o i n t o f C o l on i a l policy, 8 ° t equally artifical attempted counterpoise of a mock aristocrof was equally in cons i stent w i t h another, and absurd in i tse .

To surmount a French u re ; public with an aristocracy on the English model, was Pitt's double Utopi a i n t h e L ower Canadian Constitutloo, Never surely did one Minister's brain engender two such Ines sters together." The reason why Pitt conce d e d t o th e C ana di a ns the e l j oyment of a Constitution framed upon a French Ine de iv ; was simply to perp e t ua t e a j ea l ous y b e t ween th e m and u t t people of the Unit e d St a t es .

A review of Mr. Hogarth's musical Memoirs introduc es a clever, well-written essay on the present state of Eno l musical literature.
